I auditioned for american idol back in season 12 when i was just 19 years old I made it through to the top fifty
Back row it's the end of the line.
After American idol I started getting messages on social media everyday
People attacked, my, way my sexuality
Telling, me that i was horrible that ,you know, that i sucked, that I don't deserve to be here, that I shouldn't be who I am
and...I let it get to me in a wrong way
It killed me inside
it killed me inside almost as much as people.. were telling me that i should kill myself.
I was contemplating lots of things that i shouldn't have ...I just kind of disappeared from the world for a while
but through all of the negativity i have managed to build myself up as a new person..
A stronger person..
I've recreated myself..
In ways that i could, not have imagined
